Got a 770 on practice, a 770 on a practice a month later, and a 770 on the actual GMAT a week later. My breakdown was different every time, but the score was the same. I personally had no standard deviation whatsoever, but that's just my case.

Analysis of an Argument discussion: What's your strategy?
I don't think that my current method works well. I tend to weaken each hole in the logic that leads to the conclusion, one flaw at a time, holding the rest of the statement constant.
